Delete searches & other activity

You can delete past searches, browsing history, and other activity from your Google Account. You're in control of what's stored in My Activity, and you can stop saving most activity at any time. Learn more about My Activity and what's saved there.

To delete certain items: Choose Select. Choose the items you want to delete. At the top right, select Delete .

To delete all items: Select Delete results.

Delete activity in other places

Your activity might be saved in places other than My Activity. For example, if you've turned on Location History, that activity is saved to your Maps Timeline instead. You can delete most of your activity that's saved in those places.

Stop saving activity temporarily

Note: If you sign in to your Google Account in a private browsing window, your search activity may be stored in that account.

Deleted activity shows in My Activity

Make sure the device is connected to the internet. If you delete items from My Activity on one device, they might still appear on any devices that are offline. When the device connects to the internet, the items will be removed.

When you use Google products and services, we keep some data with your Google Account, like when and how you use certain features. We keep this data even if you delete activity or other items.

For example, if you go to My Activity and delete a search you did on Google, we'll still know that you did a search, but not what you searched for. What you searched for will no longer be stored with your account.
